Ford was the target of two assassination attempts— by two women— over the course of just two weeks— in California in 1975.
Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme— a follower of mass murderer Charles Manson—pointed a gun at the President— as he greeted well-wishers outside the state Capitol in Sacramento— but no shots were fired.
17 days later, Sarah Jane Moore fired a handgun at President Ford in San Francisco, but was grabbed by former marine Oliver Sipple— who forced the shot off target.
Both women remain in prison. And Fromme has never expressed any remorse.
